The Genealogy Bug

The Genealogy bug has bitten 
And its poison entered vein  
Late night research sessions 
Lead to sleepy days again    

One find leads to another   
One generation to the next 
From country to kingdom  
Back through time 
I am travelling again     

My time machine is not a Tardis 
Though I often wish I had one
I travel through time with documents 
And sources and its so fun    

Great Granddaddies and Grannies  
Back through out the ages 
I visit all the Kings and Queens 
And Counts and Knights and Pages
